Channelknight Fadran Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 So I was listening to the Wind's Pleasure by @Spock and I was like "Whoa! This is awesome!" And it sparked an idea. Well, I say it's an idea, but it's not exactly original. Can we just make some music for the Cosmere? If we aren't getting cinematics then can we get audiomatics (dunno if that's a word)? If you know me, you know that I love to organize stuff like this. If you have something musical to post, do it in this format: Name of Score OR (if you don't have a name) Just say "Suggestions?" Name of Book that the music is from (If you're not sure what book it's from, then just say "TBD") Link or File Download for music. Feel free to just copy and paste the URL or insert a link into smaller text. An (optional) short description. Spoilers are allowed! If you don't have something musical to post, then try to keep the discussion (obviously) on-topic. If you have critiques or comments, be sure not to be mean. Saying "this bit needs work" is fine, but saying "this song sucks" isn't. That being said, go forth, musicians, in the memory of Hoid's flute! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kureshi Ironclaw Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I performed a song in my graduating recital that I wrote about Words of Radiance, called The Storm Lights My Way. Basically I liked the way bands like Blind Guardian had lyrics about fantasy books but I couldn't find any about the cosmere so I decided to write my own. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasyFanatic Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Have you listened to the Kaladin soundtrack? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingingMosaic Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I like the Kaladin soundtrack but I feel like the nonhuman bits aren't nonhuman enough. When I picture Singer/Listener music I picture something like a breathtaking cross between James Horner's Avatar soundtrack and the album Fly, Fly, My Sadness. And while I think we all have different ideas in our heads of what it sounds like, so I knew it wasn't going to be that, it didn't quite do it. Anyway there's a thread where someone's written a bunch of mistborn music. I can go look for it if anyone wants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly he wouldn’t be able to help with this project, as he’s on his mission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Kaladin's Theme (or, rather, it will be, once I'm done with it). Any Stormlight Book https://flat.io/score/5e8c94e60c63231b3ed6ef79-kaladins-theme?sharingKey=de0da14790baf37ce06a5967a075ccdef4d844e54979f7123d99c54450f1afee7f9d490809b47746adb4d8e1456c5e49c31cbc41eda1f585e9015490ed285e57 I borrowed some of @Spock's "Tien's Theme" to throw in here. I'm not sure how it works yet, so feedback would be nice! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Sylphrena's Theme Any Stormlight Book https://flat.io/score/5e8f668e5b4b8b098e7e6927-syphrenas-theme?sharingKey=ab3546eb8ff6ef2ef2db5286eba8ce2849a70f39148883e666d19d88875b42684eab46a0b1d959f97f4bb8f0581d3187bfcacd5e090c583164a02e0f9c5daea4 I threw a bit of this into Kalladin's theme as well (if the link there has updated). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Experience Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Quite good! Feedback: For Kaladin, while reading, especially in later books he seems a little more sad, with some happy parts in between. I feel like the song ends a little too happy, if you know what I mean, but I think it was a good part. Maybe have that nearer the middle and then something else at the end? Sylphrina: First, not happy enough. Sly is bursting with joy and curiosity and I feel like maybe should be a contrast to Kaladin. She's just a bundle of joy. I think it would also sound better if it was a little faster. These are just ideas, and I do think that they sound good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghanderflaffle Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Kaladin's should almost always have an underlying firm beat if you can make it work to show his determination. The only times that truly ebbs, at least to me, is in WoK at the Honor Chasm and in Shadesmar in Oathbringer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Thanks for the feedback from @Experience and @Ghanderflaffle! I'll do what I can to improve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deity Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 The Syl theme is great, but I feel that having a faster flute portion would make it sound more bounding and energetic like she is. For Kaladin's theme maybe a bit more bass because he has a really heavy backstory. Pretty good overall though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trentolio Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Posted it in a separate thing, bu' Ip wrote and recorded this electronic music about The Stormlight Archives. Would love to do more stuff with people 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 I didn't write anything, just wanted to say a hammered dulcimer would sound fantastic for Stormlight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been working on a collection of stormlight songs and i gave the dulcimer a slap and it sounds good...good call. One thing i really like about stormlight is that Roshar feels more like Dune then middle earth...dulcimer works very well in stormlight but so does synths and electric guitars. Man stormlight is wonderful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmagpie Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I wrote a song about Bridge Four! I wrote it a few years ago when I was anxiously awaiting Oathbringer, but I recently made a video for it featuring a bunch of great fanart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 I'm back with another random suggestion: Mistborn music with a handpan/steel drum. It just sounds weirdly right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingingMosaic Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 You know what handpans are, I'm so happy! I love handpans and anyway I'll quit before I get off topic. I can see handpans in part of Stormlight. Did you have any impressions that made you think of them in Mistborn, anything you were thinking of when you thought of that? I'm curious. I don't have one. It has been a source of my sadness for a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handpans would work very well for Stormlight, but I feel like handpans would make the right sounds for an Allomancy theme, based off of the video I watched. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a32Bd1F7y9g There's the video, in case you're interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spock Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'm working on a possible theme for Dalinar, or more specifically a theme for "The Tower" after he's abandoned by Sadeas... [Google Drive Link] As for the handpans, my vote is yes. They sound amazing.

"The Tower" sounds good, a bit solemn, a bit heroic, all powerful. It sounded like there was a little too much going on in the middle, but other than that, great job! Seriously, it's fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 @Spren of Kindness I haven't really decided what I want to do in the middle... My fingers seem like they can't decide either Either way, it something I just started and thought I'd bounce it off of anyone who was willing to give a listen... Thanks for the feedback! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
